Facility-level details families should check before a visit or sending mail/money

Start with the facility's own information when you can, and have a backup plan if a public page won't load. Bannock County's courts and bonds page, for example, displays an "Access to this page is forbidden" message. That's a good reminder that you may need to rely on official phone numbers or in-person offices for certain questions.

Medical rules are facility-specific, so check before you try to drop anything off. Canyon County Jail will not accept outside medications or over-the-counter medications. Prescription medication is provided through detention medical staff. Canyon County also assesses inmates a $10.00 clinical fee for each visit to see a member of the medical staff, and prescription costs are set by the pharmacy.
